Baluster vs Renwick Heather
Where Baluster belongs to Little Greene's range, Renwick Heather is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (23 vs 22), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Baluster runs red while Renwick Heather is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
